Back in NYC!

I am back in New York and have time for some fun...

Except for the long Thanksgivings weekend, I am here through December 10th.

I have also made another video on Thursday night that will be online shortly.

See you soon,

Zurich (from November 13, 2006)

Zurich shopping highlights include the Swiss made Fogal stockings. They are very high quality, very sheer (9 dernier), and feel very nice. I bought two pairs in each black, coffee and grey, and one patterned pair- I am wearing now. The other great item was a pair of Causse gloves from Paris. Now, this name may not mean much to you, but they make all gloves for Hermes and Chanel and the quality and especially their smell are the absolute best. I found them in a very charming store that sold mainly high-end shoes, called Charivari. As they had them, and I can never have enough of them, I also bought two Diptyque scented candles, in the “Cuir” (leather) scent. Diagonally across the street, is one of the best restaurants according to locals, Bü’ss. Their tasting menu paired with wines was very creative and recommendable.

London


Yes, I am having a great time in London. Except, that I did not get around to any sessions...I was busy and did not bring anything with me. I did, however, buy some amazing items that would be suitable:
1. I bought a beautiful black leather blouse at Yves Saint Laurent...so supple, so sleek, and so expensive (several thousand $) and a matching leather belt. I wore it with a leather skirt and boots in a 'private session' and can assure you it will be in my next video.
2. At Fettered Pleasures, really one of the best stores of its kind, I bought a nice leather (also lined in leather) hood, a set of cuffs and shackles (I think they were called 'pony boy') very suitable for travel, and a small leather item too indecent to mention here (will also debut in the next video).
Of course I did some ' regular' shopping too: Stockings at Harrod's, vintage art deco shot glasses and a jet bead necklace at Alfie's market (antique/thrift market that is amazing).

Otherwise I can recommend: Wilton's restaurant (55 Jermyn St.)for the most upscale and good English food, Claridge's Bar for a sophisticated drink (the 'Black Pearl: vodka, blackberry juice and a splash of Chambord) and 50 St. James for a nightcap (the casino on the second floor is quite a scene).

So, as I've alluded to it, my website is officially up and running. There is another video that is ready to be uploaded as soon as I am back, and I can't wait to shoot another one with -and without - some of the leather articles mentioned above.

I plan on coming to London again for Club Pedestal on Nov. 23rd (www.clubpedestal.com).
